Cylindrical tennis-ball cans are being packed into cartons. If each can has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 12 inches, and the dimensions of each carton are 14 inches by 16 inches by 20 inches, what is the maximum number of tennis-ball cans that can fit in each carton?
A. 12
B. 15
C. 20
D. 24
E. 40
Who so ever, considering π value as 4 (approximation)
The Question is asking for
maximum numberIn this case, as π is in the denominator ((Volume/area of carton)/(Volume/area of cylinder)), π should be considered 3 instead of 4 so that we get maximum number (of course may not be an integer yet we can approximate)
Is my Question fine - Please let me know your comments
